Nonuniform magnetic field and stationary conductor

AI Thread Summary
When a conductor moves perpendicular to a nonuniform magnetic field, the induced electromotive force (emf) is affected by the spatial variation of the magnetic flux. If the magnetic flux varies sinusoidally in space while the conductor moves at a constant speed, the induced emf will also be sinusoidal in nature. This relationship holds true for both spatial and temporal variations of the magnetic field. The stationary magnet maintains a consistent direction of flux lines, contributing to the sinusoidal pattern of the induced emf. Overall, the interaction between the moving conductor and the nonuniform magnetic field results in a sinusoidal induced emf.

Situation is this, consider a conductor moves perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field. But magnetic field is not uniform through out the conductor movement( but magnet is stationary and flux lines are in same direction and magic field doesn't change with time but changes with space similar to poles in alternator(chamfered pole). If conductor moves with constant speed and magnetic flux is sinusoidally varying(in space) then what will be induced emf. Sorry my headline is not correct actually it is non uniform magnetic field and moving conductor

It will be sinusoidal as well, w.r.t. both space and time.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
